Technical Field
The present invention relates to an electrode active material slurry comprising a cellulose-based compound having a high molecular weight and a high degree of substitution, and an electrode and a lithium secondary battery comprising the same.
Background
In recent years, with the rapid development of the electronic industry and the communication industry, such as various information communication technologies (including mobile communications) and the like, portable electronic products and communication terminals, such as notebook computers, netbooks, tablet computers, mobile phones, smart phones, Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs), digital cameras, and camcorders, have been widely used to meet the demand for lightweight electronic devices, and thus there is an increasing interest in the development of secondary batteries as power sources for these devices.
The lithium secondary battery generally includes: a positive electrode in which a positive electrode active material layer is formed on at least one surface of a positive electrode current collector; an anode in which an anode active material layer is formed on at least one surface of an anode current collector; and a separator disposed between the positive electrode and the negative electrode to electrically insulate them.
The negative electrode may be formed by directly coating a negative electrode active material slurry in which negative electrode active material particles and a binder are dispersed in a solvent on a current collector and drying the coated current collector, or may be formed by coating a negative electrode active material slurry on a separate support, drying the coated support, and laminating a film peeled off from the support on the current collector.
Since the binder plays a role in maintaining the adhesion between the anode active material particles and the current collector and the adhesion between the anode active material particles during the preparation of the anode, the binder has a great influence on the performance of the electrode. Styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) which is electrochemically stable and has an excellent effect even if it is used in a smaller amount than polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) is used as a binder, and in addition, a thickener is used to adjust the viscosity of the anode active material slurry.
Cellulose-based thickeners are mainly used as thickeners.
However, for low molecular weight cellulosic thickeners, there is a limitation that causes phase separation of the slurry. In addition, in the case of containing an excessive amount of the cellulose-based thickener, not only is it not easy to use the cellulose-based thickener in this process due to the increase in viscosity of the slurry, but also the amount of the electrode active material is reduced due to the increase in the weight ratio of the thickener to the active material, and thus the capacity of the battery is reduced.

Detailed Description
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail in order to more clearly understand the present invention.
It should be understood that the words or terms used in the specification and claims should not be construed as meaning defined in commonly used dictionaries. It should be further understood that the terms or terms should be interpreted as having a meaning that is consistent with their meaning in the context of the relevant art and the technical spirit of the present invention, based on the principle that the inventor can best explain the present invention by appropriately defining the meaning of the terms or terms.
Specifically, in one embodiment of the present invention, there is provided an electrode active material slurry comprising:
(a) an electrode active material;
(b) a conductive agent;
(c) a binder;
(d) a solvent; and
(e) a cellulose-based compound having a weight average molecular weight (Mw) of 2,000,000 to 3,000,000, a degree of substitution of 1.0 to 1.2 and a 1% solution viscosity (Brookfield viscometer, speed 12rpm) of 4,000cps to 10,000 cps.
In the case where a cellulose-based compound used as a conventional thickener is used together with a binder and a conductive agent, it is difficult to adjust or maintain the viscosity of an electrode active material slurry over time due to uneven dispersion caused by a difference in specific gravity with the electrode active material. In the case where the amount of the solvent is increased to solve such a limitation, the capacity and rate performance of the secondary battery may be degraded due to a relative decrease in the solid content.
In particular, in the case where a cellulose-based compound is used together with the conductive agent, the cellulose-based compound affects the dispersibility of the conductive agent. For example, a cellulose-based compound having a low molecular weight is used together with a conductive agent, and since the conductive agent is agglomerated due to a low diffusion effect of the conductive agent, it is not uniformly mixed with an active material, and thus uniform dispersibility of the active material and the conductive agent on an electrode surface may not be expected.
In the present invention, the phase separation phenomenon of the electrode active material slurry may be improved by using a cellulose-based compound having a molecular weight, a substitution degree, and a viscosity within specific ranges as a thickener, and furthermore, the phase stability of the electrode active material slurry may be improved by reducing the number of particles of the cellulose-based compound remaining undissolved in water. Thus, a lithium secondary battery having improved battery capacity and rate performance can be prepared.
In the electrode active material slurry according to an embodiment of the present invention, the cellulose-based compound as the water-soluble polymer additive may include carboxyethyl cellulose or carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) represented by the following formula 1, and may specifically include carboxymethyl cellulose.
[ formula 1]

In the formula 1, the first and second groups,
R1、R2and R3Each independently is a hydrogen atom or-CH2COOH, and
n is an integer of 100 to 3,000.
In addition, the cellulose-based compound may be used by adding a single material selected from the group consisting of methyl cellulose, ethyl cellulose, hydroxyethyl cellulose, benzyl cellulose, and cellulose ether, or a mixture of two or more thereof, in addition to carboxymethyl cellulose or carboxyethyl cellulose.
According to one embodiment of the present invention, the weight average molecular weight (Mw) of the cellulose-based compound may be in the range of 2,000,000 to 3,000,000, for example 2,500,000 to 3,000,000.
The weight average molecular weight (Mw) of the cellulose-based compound can be measured by Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC) with reference to polyacrylic acid (PAA) standards.
The molecular weight of the cellulose-based compound determines the length of the polymer chain, wherein if the weight average molecular weight of the cellulose-based compound is less than 2,000,000, phase separation of the electrode active material slurry, for example, sedimentation of the electrode active material as a solid component, may occur due to excessively low viscosity. In the case where the amount of the cellulose-based compound is increased in order to prevent this, the capacity of the secondary battery may be reduced because the amount of the electrode active material is reduced. In addition, if the weight average molecular weight of the cellulose-based compound exceeds 3,000,000, the solubility of the cellulose-based compound in the electrode active material slurry is reduced due to the increase in viscosity. In addition, since the viscosity of the electrode active material slurry increases, it is not easy to use a cellulose-based compound in this process. In the case of increasing the use of a solvent to solve such a limitation, the capacity and rate performance of the secondary battery may be reduced due to a relative decrease in the solid content.
In addition, the Degree of Substitution (DS) of the cellulose-based compound may be in the range of 1.0 to 1.2.
The expression "degree of substitution" denotes the carboxymethyl group (-CH) in each repeating unit of cellulose in place of the hydroxyl group of the cellulose2COOH), wherein the solubility of the cellulosic compound in water may vary depending on the degree of substitution. The degree of substitution of cellulosic compounds can be estimated by measuring the relative amount of COOH present in the sample using a Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectrometer.
In general, when the degree of substitution of a cellulose-based compound is high, the solubility in water increases, and when the degree of substitution is low, the solubility in water decreases. The solubility of the cellulose-based compound in water may ultimately affect the dispersion properties of the electrode active material slurry, wherein the dispersibility of the electrode active material slurry may be improved as the solubility in water becomes higher. In addition, if the dispersibility of the electrode active material slurry is improved, the slurry coating effect may be improved, and thus the productivity may be improved.
In the present invention, since the dispersibility of the active material and the conductive agent can be improved by containing the cellulose-based compound having a degree of substitution of 1.0 or more, for example, 1.0 to 1.2, the number of particles (the number of microgels) of the cellulose-based compound remaining undissolved in water can be reduced. Therefore, for an electrode prepared using the electrode active material slurry having improved dispersibility, a smooth current can be formed inside thereof.
In the case where the degree of substitution of the cellulose-based compound is less than 1.0, the microgel count may increase due to a decrease in solubility in water. In addition, the cellulose-based compound plays a role of providing electrostatic repulsion by combining with the active material and the conductive agent in the electrode active material slurry, wherein in the case where the degree of substitution of the cellulose-based compound is less than 1.0, since the reaction is weak and the dispersibility of the active material and the conductive agent is reduced, the battery performance may be reduced. As the degree of substitution of the cellulose-based compound becomes higher, the solubility in water increases, but it is technically difficult to control the degree of substitution to 1.2 or more.
The number of visually detectable and discernible particles of the cellulose-based compound that are not dissolved in water (the number of microgels) in the electrode active material slurry can be controlled depending on the degree of substitution with the cellulose-based compound. In particular, the microgel count may desirably be below 20, for example in the range of 5 to 20, per 0.25ml of electrode active material slurry. In the case where the microgel number is more than 20, the dispersibility of the active material and the conductive agent may be reduced, thereby increasing the resistance of the battery, and defects may occur on the surface of the electrode due to weak cohesion.
The viscosity of the cellulose-based compound can be controlled according to the molecular weight of the cellulose-based compound, and specifically, the viscosity of the cellulose-based compound is proportional to the molecular weight.
The viscosity of a 1% solution of the cellulosic compound may be in the range of about 4,000cps to about 10,000 cps.
The viscosity of a 1% aqueous solution of a cellulose-based compound can be measured at room temperature using a Brookfield viscometer (model: LVDV2T) with spindle No. 4 at a speed of 12 rpm.
In the case where the 1% solution viscosity of the cellulose-based compound is less than 4,000cps, it may be difficult to perform a uniform coating process since phase separation occurs between the active material and the solvent when preparing the slurry. For example, a cellulose-based compound having a weight average molecular weight of 1,200,000, a degree of substitution of 1.2, and a viscosity of 2,200cps has a high degree of substitution and thus has a high solubility in water, resulting in a small number of microgels, but has a low viscosity of 2,200cps, resulting in phase separation of slurry, thereby lowering the stability of the slurry. In the case where a large amount of a cellulose-based compound is added in order to ensure processability, if the solid content is reduced, the energy density of the battery may be reduced or the battery capacity may be reduced.
In contrast, in the case where the viscosity of the cellulose-based compound is greater than 10,000cps, the cellulose-based compound is insoluble in the electrode active material slurry due to the increase in viscosity, and thus it may not be feasible to use the cellulose-based compound in this process.
In the electrode active material slurry according to an embodiment of the present invention, the content of the cellulose-based compound may be 0.5 to 2 wt%, for example, 0.8 to 1.2 wt%, based on the total weight of solid matters in the electrode active material slurry.
If the amount of the cellulose-based compound is less than 0.5 wt%, phase stability of the electrode active material slurry, for example, electrode active material slurry flow-down, may not be ensured since the effect due to the use of the thickener during the coating of the electrode active material slurry is insignificant. Therefore, in the case where the phase stability of the electrode active material slurry is not ensured, the coating of the electrode active material slurry is not easy, and the binder may be unevenly distributed on the surface of the electrode during the drying process. In this case, since adhesion between the active material particles and the current collector is not ensured, there is a possibility that a peeling phenomenon of the electrode occurs.
In contrast, in the case where the amount of the cellulose-based compound exceeds 2 wt%, it may be difficult to ensure high capacity of the battery not only because the viscosity of the electrode active material slurry increases, making the application of the electrode active material slurry difficult, but also because the amount of the electrode active material in the slurry decreases.
In the case where a low molecular weight cellulose-based compound is used together with a conductive agent during the preparation of a conventional electrode active material slurry, uniform mixing with an active material may not be achieved due to agglomeration of the conductive agent resulting from a decrease in the diffusion effect of the conductive agent. As a result, since the phase stability of an electrode active material slurry in which a cellulose-based compound having a low molecular weight and/or a low degree of substitution is used may not be expected, the capacity and rate performance are reduced.
In the present invention, since an electrode active material slurry containing a cellulose-based compound having a high molecular weight and a substitution degree in a specific range is provided, the problems in the related art can be solved. That is, since the cellulose-based compound having a molecular weight and a substitution degree within a specific range has high water solubility and excellent dispersibility as compared to other cellulose-based compounds having a low molecular weight and/or a low substitution degree, the effect of reducing the thickening and solid settling rate of the electrode active material slurry of the present invention can be achieved. Accordingly, since the adhesion of the electrode active material is improved to prevent the electrode active material from being peeled off from the current collector, excellent battery performance can be achieved.
In addition, the resistance characteristics of the battery affect the output performance of the lithium secondary battery. The resistance characteristics are significantly affected by the dispersion state of the components in the electrode active material slurry. For example, in the case where the electrode active material, the conductive agent, and the binder are not present in a uniformly dispersed state but are agglomerated together, since a channel through which current can flow in the electrode is not locally formed, the resistance in the battery may increase or a current concentration phenomenon may occur, and thus, the performance and stability of the battery may be degraded.
In the present invention, since the electrode active material slurry including the cellulose-based compound having the molecular weight and the substitution degree within the specific ranges is provided, the dispersibility of the electrode active material slurry is improved, and thus the battery characteristics can be improved.
In the electrode active material slurry according to an embodiment of the present invention, the electrode active material (a) may include a negative electrode active material.
As the negative electrode active material, one kind of carbon-based negative electrode active material such as crystalline carbon, amorphous carbon, or carbon composite, or a combination of two or more kinds thereof may be used, and the negative electrode active material may be crystalline carbon, for example, graphitic carbon such as natural graphite and artificial graphite.
The content of the negative electrode active material may be 60 wt% to 97 wt%, for example, 80 wt% to 97 wt%, based on the total weight of solids in the electrode active material slurry.
In addition, in the electrode active material slurry of the present invention, the conductive agent (b) is not particularly limited as long as it has conductivity without causing side reactions with other elements of the secondary battery, and for example, a single material selected from the group consisting of: natural graphite, artificial graphite, carbon black, acetylene black, ketjen black, channel black, furnace black, lamp black, thermal black, carbon nanotubes, fullerenes, carbon fibers, metal fibers, fluorocarbons, aluminum, nickel powder, zinc oxide, potassium titanate, titanium oxide, and polyphenylene derivatives.
The conductive agent may be added in an amount of about 0.05 wt% to about 3 wt%, based on the total weight of solids in the electrode active material slurry, and the weight ratio of the cellulose-based compound to the conductive agent may be in the range of 1:0.5 to 1:2, for example, 1:0.5 to 1: 1.5. In the case where the weight ratio of the cellulose-based compound to the conductive agent is outside the above range, an agglomeration phenomenon of the electrode slurry may occur due to uneven dispersion of the conductive agent, and it may be difficult to prepare a uniform electrode if the particles are not uniformly dispersed. In addition, since the electrochemical distribution is not uniform, the resistance in the electrode may increase or a current concentration phenomenon may occur, and thus the performance and stability of the battery may be degraded.
Further, in the electrode active material slurry of the present invention, the binder (c) is used for holding the shaped article by binding the active material particles, wherein the binder may comprise a single material selected from the group consisting of: acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber, styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), hydroxyethylcellulose, polyvinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene copolymer (PVDF-co-HFP), polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), polyvinyl alcohol, starch, polyacrylonitrile, hydroxypropylcellulose, regenerated cellulose, polymethyl methacrylate, polyvinylpyrrolidone, tetrafluoroethylene, polyethylene, polypropylene, polyacrylate, ethylene-propylene-diene monomer (EPDM), sulfonated EPDM, and Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE).
In this case, since the rubbery binder selected from the group consisting of acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber, styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), and acrylic rubber, and the polymer resin such as polyvinylidene fluoride may be economical and environmentally friendly, may not cause a hazard to the health of workers, and may have a greater binding effect than a non-aqueous binder, the ratio of active materials for the same volume may be increased. Therefore, the capacity of the battery can be increased.
The binder may be included in an amount of about 0.5 wt% to about 3 wt% based on the total weight of solids in the electrode active material slurry. In the case where the amount of the binder is less than 0.5 wt%, electrode adhesiveness may not be ensured, and in the case where the amount of the binder is more than 3 wt%, electrode resistance may increase.
The solvent (d) may include water or an organic solvent, such as N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) and alcohol, and may be used in an amount such that the solvent has an appropriate viscosity to dissolve and disperse the electrode active material, the binder, and the conductive agent, in consideration of the coating thickness and the manufacturing yield of the electrode active material slurry. For example, the solvent may be included so that the concentration of the solid matter in the electrode active material slurry including the negative electrode active material, the binder, the conductive agent, and the cellulose-based compound is in the range of 50 wt% to 95 wt%, for example, 70 wt% to 90 wt%.
In addition, in one embodiment of the present invention, an electrode including the electrode active material slurry may be provided, and in particular, the electrode may include a negative electrode.

Examples of the experiments
Experimental example 1: phase stability experiment of negative active material slurry
The average particle diameters of solids in the anode active material slurries prepared in examples 1 to 6 and the anode active material slurries prepared in comparative examples 4 to 8 were measured using a fine gauge (grind gauge, manufacturer: SHEEN/SB, range: 0-100 μm) method, and the results are listed in Table 2 below.
Next, 50g each of the negative electrode active material slurries of examples 1 to 6 and the negative electrode active material slurries of comparative examples 4 to 8 was placed in 11 bottles of 50ml, and the height of the bottom sedimentation amount (sedimentation rate (%)) was measured based on 100% height of the negative electrode active material slurry after 3 days. The results are shown in Table 2 below.
[ Table 2]
Figure GDA0002760206720000211
As confirmed in table 2, with respect to the negative electrode active material slurries of examples 1 to 6 of the present invention, it was found that the amount of sedimentation (sedimentation rate) based on 100% height of the negative electrode active material slurry after 3 days was in the range of 1.0% to 3.4%, and the average particle diameter of the solid matter in the slurry was small and 45 μm or less.
Particularly in the examination of the anode active material slurries of examples 1 to 4, even in the case of using carboxymethyl cellulose having the same molecular weight and substitution degree, it was found that the sedimentation rates (2.0% and 1.0%) of the anode active material slurries of examples 1 and 3 having a high carboxymethyl cellulose content ratio were lower, respectively, with respect to the sedimentation rates (3.4% and 1.5%) of the anode active material slurries of examples 2 and 4.
In contrast, with the anode active material slurries of comparative examples 4 and 5, which contained carboxymethylcellulose having a low degree of substitution of 0.8, it was found that the average particle diameters of the solid matters in the slurries were 60 μm and 73 μm, respectively, which were larger than those of the anode active material slurries of examples 1 to 6, due to the low solubility.
In addition, with respect to the anode active material slurry of comparative example 6, which contained carboxymethyl cellulose having a low weight average molecular weight of 1,200,000, it was found that the precipitation rate was increased because phase separation occurred in the anode active material slurry due to low viscosity.
With the anode active material slurries of comparative examples 7 and 8, which contained an excessive amount of carboxymethyl cellulose, the sedimentation rate was low, and the average particle diameter was not significantly different from that of the anode active materials of examples, but since the amount of the electrode active material was relatively reduced, it was found that, as described later, the overall performance such as capacity characteristics was reduced.
Experimental example 2: measurement of adhesion of negative electrode
The adhesion of the negative electrodes prepared in examples 7 to 10 and comparative examples 9 to 12 was measured, and the results are shown in table 3 below. In this case, the adhesiveness was measured according to the 180-degree peel method.
Experimental example 3: capacity and efficiency characteristic test of lithium secondary battery
The lithium secondary batteries prepared in examples 7 to 10 and the lithium secondary batteries prepared in comparative examples 9 to 12 were charged to a voltage of 0.005V at a Constant Current (CC) of 1.0C at room temperature, and then the first-cycle charge was performed by charging the batteries to a current of 0.005% of 1.0C at a Constant Voltage (CV) of 0.005V. After the lithium secondary battery was left to stand for 20 minutes, the battery was discharged to a voltage of 1.5V at constant currents of 0.2C and 1.0C to measure the discharge capacity of the first cycle. The results are shown in Table 3 below.
[ Table 3]
Figure GDA0002760206720000231
Referring to table 3, since the negative electrodes prepared in examples 7 to 10 of the present invention had high adhesion of 18gf/15mm or more and high discharge capacity of 98.9% or more on average, it can be found that the battery capacity was improved.
In contrast, with respect to the negative electrode of comparative example 9 using the negative electrode active material slurry of comparative example 5 in which the average particle diameter of the solid matter in the slurry was large, and the negative electrode of comparative example 10 using the negative electrode active material slurry of comparative example 6 in which the slurry settling rate was high, it was found that the adhesion of the negative electrode was low, 12gf/15mm or less, and the discharge capacity was relatively reduced compared to examples 7 to 10, because the phase stability of the slurry was lowered.
For the lithium secondary batteries of comparative examples 11 and 12 using the negative electrode active material including an excessive amount of carboxymethyl cellulose, it was found that the adhesion of the negative electrode was high, 26gf/15mm or more, due to the excessive amount of carboxymethyl cellulose, but the discharge capacity was relatively decreased compared to examples 7 to 10, due to the relative decrease in the amount of the electrode active material.
While particular embodiments of the present invention have been described above, various applications and modifications will become apparent to those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the present invention.
